I have a pink carnation coral and have been feeding it Oysterfest and cylopeez. What else is good for this coral to keep it healthy and thriving? I have only had this coral for 3 weeks but it is doing well. I just want to make sure I'm covering all my bases.

I've had mine for 4 months. Just been feeding cyclopeze and baisting my rock work. I keep it in the shadows and just enough flow to make the main stem move slightly. I've heard its usually on a death sentence and its just a matter of time. They belong in the ocean for sure but I found one at the lfs and I wasn't about to drive a thousand miles to the ocean to save it lol.

Had it 4 weeks. I target feed it when it opens up. I try to feed it everyday. I mix it up changing which food I use every few days. Seems to be working well. I shut off everything in the tank except a power head for flow and let it blow food all throughout the tank to feed all my corals not just the carnations.

Those are both Scleronephthyas. They are the one of those corals most struggle with long term. They seem to go perfect for 6 to 8 months and then shrink away. I have never been able to keep them longer than 8 months. You might look into Fauna Marin foods. They have mucus and bacteria products that these are suppose to feed on. truthfully no one knows but better to throw the kitchen sink at them.

i recently got one of thees and am hoping to set up a nano 20 galon to run as a non-photosenthitic tank i have had some sun polyps for a few years most have died buy not feading enough but i thank a small tank i can feed beter.

Its common name stuff which confuses people. Scleronepthea (what you have) is called "flower tree coral" for a common name, and Dendronethea is called "carnation tree coral" as a common name. They are both nepthea's, but their growth form is a little different if you google both you should be able to see the difference.

+1 on the Fauna Marin

I have a plastic case about the size of a shoebox filled with frozen foods for feeding my nps collection but still add FM to every one. I would try the Ultra Min F and Ultra Sea Fan for smaller polyps. I would definitely consider target feeding if those are added; they're powerful stuff and wouldn't want it settling all over My tank! Great stuff and while I can't say it has kept all my nps in the shape they are, I personally believe it has helped and I'm not about to change what has worked thus far!

I had one hitchhiker colony that did ok for at least a year... it was located right by the food output, and, closest to the light. I don't know if some of them might possibly be partially photosynthetic? But this colony did ok. Always expanded and showed a small amount of growth.

For foods Fauna Marin is the way to go. I still have the whole set of FM azoox foods I'm planning to put up for sale soon.
